Wearing a uniform — the special clothes that show what job someone does. It goes in front of a noun: a uniformed officer, uniformed staff, uniformed guards. You almost never say "the man was uniformed" after the verb; English keeps this one before the noun.
Wearing a uniform穿著制服 — the special clothes that show what job someone does那種能看出一個人做什麼工作的特殊服裝.

It shows up most in news writing and official language, especially about police, soldiers, security guards, and airline or hotel staff. Writers reach for it for a reason: it tells you at a glance that the person was official, not in plain clothes. That contrast is the whole point.
It shows up most in news writing and official language這個字最常出現在新聞寫作和官方用語裡, especially about police, soldiers, security guards, and airline or hotel staff特別是在講警察、軍人、保全人員，以及航空公司或飯店員工的時候. Writers reach for it for a reason作者會特別選用這個字是有原因的: it tells you at a glance that the person was visibly official, not in plain clothes它讓你一眼就知道這個人明顯是公職身分，不是穿便服. That contrast is the whole point這個對比就是重點所在
"Two uniformed police officers arrived" means anyone could see they were police; if they had been in ordinary clothes, the writer would have said plain-clothes officers. So the word is doing more than describing clothing — it is telling you the person was recognisable as having authority. In some countries "the uniformed services" is a set phrase meaning the army, navy, air force, police, and similar bodies taken together.
